I'll check when I pull it. Could this actually be a spun cam bearing? You're scaring me.

Pulled the lower intake manifold off, and all I can say is...

Holy sh*t...





They are destroyed! How could this have happened? I'm thinking maybe this happened when my harmonic balancer was on wrong, and it turned over very poorly? I'm shocked how mangled they are.

My lifters, on the other hand, don't look too bad...







Any suggestions or opinions are greatly appreciated.
